Carly Fiorina

This former CEO of Hewlett-Packard underwent a double mastectomy and radiation therapy in 2009. The subsequent year, she entered the political spotlight when she ran as a Republican for the senate seat occupied by Democrat Barbara Boxer. Fiorina at one point joked to the San Jose Mercury News, "[A]fter chemotherapy, Barbara Boxer just isn't that scary anymore."
